Full Description

MY354: shieling. Mid hill-slope. A possibly sub-rectangular, 4 x 2m, single cell of collapsgins stone walling that makes definition difficult. Possibly part of the same building is a larger, oval single-cell stone setting of just a few spaced sotnes and slabs, some quite large. All are sites (sic) on a platform. They could also represent a shelter built over an earlier, much larger site.
